2)The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 34. Find the smaller number?
(a) 20 (b) 14 (c)12 (d) 16 (e) 10

3)If 25-x is a true sentence, then the value of x is
(a) 13 (b)0 (c) 2 (d) 26 (e) 24
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

`1) 0.62=(62)/(100)=(31)/(50)`

2) let the numbers be 2x and 2x+ 2

2x + 2x + 2 = 34

4x + 2 = 34

Subtract 2 from both sides

4x = 34-2

4x = 32

Divide both sides by 4

x =32/4

x = 8

2x = 2*8 = 16

2x + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18

The smaller number is 16
